Task
Materials
One 10-frame per pair of students (see example below)
[IMG]
Counters, 10 per pair of students
Decks of number cards 0-5 (with 4 of each number) or two 0-5 dice
Setup
This activity is done in pairs. The students sit side by side with 10-frame and deck of cards or dice. If they have cards, the cards are shuffled and placed face down in front of them.
Action
Player 1 flips a card or rolls the die. They place that many counters on the 10-frame. Player 2 flips a card or rolls the die. They place that many more counters on the 10-frame next to the counters already on the ten frame. The students count the total together.
A recording sheet can be added when the students have been introduced to equations and number sentences. For those students who can handle higher numbers, a deck of 0-10 cards and two 10-frames can be used.
This game can also be played alone.

problem_activity: Task
Materials:
Sheets of paper for each student that are folded in half with the words "Heavier" and "Lighter" written at the top of each side.
[IMG]
A box of large blocks.
A box of different objects with different weights to compare with a block from the first box. Some should be lighter than a single block and some should be heavier. The weight differences should be fairly pronounced.
Action:
The students begin by choosing a block that they will use to compare with other objects.
Students will then choose an item from the second box and compare its weight to their block. They then draw a picture of it under "Heavier" or "Lighter" depending which applies. They continue to choose objects from the box to measure against their block until they have two or three drawings on each side of their sheet.
